Warren explains her applause to Trump's 'Pocahontas' jab during his speech to Congress

Sen. Elizabeth Warren said her resistant applause when President Trump called her "Pocahontas" during his address to Congress was to affirm "American support for Ukrainians."

"What I was talking about is the importance of American support for the Ukrainians, who are fighting on the front lines for democracy and fighting back against an autocrat," Warren told Fox News Digital. 

"Everyone needs to understand: They take a bite out of Ukraine, they're not giving up there. They're coming for the rest of Europe, and we need to fight it," Warren said.

"Sen. Warren, what did you think of President Trump calling you out by name?" Fox News Digital asked Warren.

"I actually hit a nerve when I applauded the United States' support of Ukrainian patriots. If that hits a nerve for Trump, then it's worth sitting through the rest of that speech."

Responding to the loud applause from Warren and her fellow Democrats, Trump said "Pocahontas," a nickname Trump uses to mock Warren for claiming Native American heritage, wants "another five years" of war in Ukraine. 

"Do you want to keep it going for another five years? 'Yeah, yeah,' you would say. Pocahontas says yes," Trump said. 

"Donald Trump is treating the destruction of a democracy as a political show - throwing Ukraine to the wolves and doing a favor for Putin. It's shameful and dangerous. I've been to Ukraine, as have many Senate Republicans. I hope they speak up. Millions of lives are at stake," Warren said on X.

However, Graham said after the "complete, utter disaster" in the Oval Office that he didn't know "if we can ever do business with Zelenskyy again." Graham said Zelenskyy needs to resign or "send somebody over that we can do business with, or he needs to change."

Zelenskyy was asked to leave the White House after his public disagreement with Trump and Vice President JD Vance, a visit that was intended to result in the Ukraine-United States Mineral Resources Agreement.

Trump ordered a suspension of all U.S. military aid to Ukraine on Monday. Zelenskyy then sent a letter to Trump affirming his commitment to a peaceful negotiation and thanking the U.S. for its service to Ukraine.
